Google Street View lets you stroll around CERN, no doctorate required

Previously, free rein to explore the labyrinthine laboratory that is CERN has been granted only to the lucky, or those with four degrees and an aptitude for finding theoretical particles. That changes today, however, as anyone can now explore the home of the Large Hadron Collider
in Geneva, Switzerland through Google Street View.

All the imagery was
captured back in 2011, but it's finally been stitched together, allowing
you to wander freely around the site of the famous particle accelerator and learn a little about its experiments. Hit up Google Views to begin your personal guided tour, and let us know if you spot this Higgs fellow everyone's so keen on finding.
